UK council criticised over sale of collection including works by pioneering photographer Tony Ray-Jones

Kent County Council is facing sharp criticism for the deaccessioning and sale of 168 lots from its art collection, including a significant archive of 33 photographs by the influential postwar British photographer Tony Ray-Jones. The auction, held at Sworders Fine Art Auctioneers, also features works by Andy Goldsworthy and Sidney Nolan. The council cited financial pressures and a lack of viable storage as the primary reasons for the sale, admitting that the works were not offered to local museums or galleries before being sent to auction.
